Painting Cost Calculator

This calculator can help in figuring out the cost for painting the interior of you home or the exterior of your home. This is a simplified calculator and only to get an estimated cost based on square footage. Material costs are not included within the total cost. You must get the square footage and then figure how many gallons and the brand of paint you want to use to get a material cost which then you can add to the labor cost that this paint calculator gives.

If there are areas of the house that have corners that step in or step out just add the total length and total width then input those numbers.
The number used for the square footage cost are listed below.
